Not sure about the order.

Ball, Coppell, Neal, Clarke, Hughes.
All awful, for various reasons.
Until recently my dad used to blame anything that went wrong in the world on Thatcher and Malcolm Allison coming back and fucking it up. He liked him but couldn't forget that he was the start of it all fucking up.

it has to be ball though , correct me if i'm wrong please , my memory is a bit vague ,
but i do remember him getting manager of the month , then we went to the riverside(the year it opened) , i remember kinky scoring for us first , i thought at that moment we were
going places (how naive) , & then they got 4 , juninho got a hat trick ? it was a long train back , and the wonderwall/alan ball song was never to be sung again.

The reason given at the time was stress. He didn't appear to realise the club was run like Fred Karno's circus or appreciate the unrealistic expectations put on a new manager. So he walked.
My accolade goes to Alan Ball. Couldn't have motivated a stud bull in a field full of cows. Completely out his depth and the manager I always associate most with our downward spiral.

John Benson 1983. Only had a 17% win record (albeit only half a season).
He got us relegated that year.
That was the initial fall from which we never really recovered, right up until Sheik Mansour invested
For me, he put this giant to sleep.

Squeeky Ball gets my vote. Never liked the fella before during or after his stint
